達努：當(dāng)然可以。我之前提到過，斯里蘭卡是一個美麗的島國。
Widuri: Yes.
威杜里：對。
Danu: So Tooth Relic and the city of Kandy is right in the middle of Sri Lanka.
達努：我還提到了佛牙，而坎迪市就位于斯里蘭卡中部。

達努：如果你去沿海地區(qū)，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)那里有很多美麗的海灘。
Widuri: Wow.
威杜里：哇哦。
Danu: And I will talk about the place called Marble Beach.
達努：我要介紹的地方名為大理石沙灘。
Widuri: Marble Beach.
威杜里：大理石沙灘。
Danu: Why do you think we call it the Marble Beach?
達努：你認為為什么那里名為大理石沙灘?
Widuri: Marble Beach. Maybe because the sands look like marble?
威杜里：大理石沙灘?？赡苁且驗槟抢锏纳匙涌瓷先ハ翊罄硎?
Danu: Exactly. When you get in the sea, the sea bed looks like exactly like marble.
達努：完全正確。你在海里的時候，海底看上去非常像大理石。
Widuri: Wow.
威杜里：哇哦。
Danu: It's so blue, it shines when the sun is bright. You can see even from far away the blue sea bed of Marble Beach.
達努：海底是藍色的，在陽光明媚的日子里，海底會閃閃發(fā)光。在遠離大理石沙灘的地方也能看到藍色的海底。
Widuri: Wow.
威杜里：哇哦。
Danu: And the best thing about the Marble Beach is for about 1 kilometer, the depth of water is the same. It's really, really shallow.
達努：大理石沙灘最棒的地方在于，那里的面積大約為1公里，水也很淺。非常淺。
Widuri: Oh yeah?
威杜里：真的嗎?
Danu: So nobody drowns if you swim in Marble Beach. You can swim even if you cannot swim.
達努：所以沒有人在大理石沙灘游泳會溺水。即使你不會游泳，也可以在那里游泳。
Widuri: Oh really?
威杜里：哦，真的嗎?
Danu: Yes. And since Sri Lanka is a tropical country, if it is not the rainy season, Marble Beach will be filled with people from outside Sri Lanka as well as with the people from Sri Lanka, local people and foreign people because tourists, they love to do sun bathing.
達努：對。斯里蘭卡是熱帶國家，如果不是雨季，那大理石沙灘會擠滿來自世界各地的游客，當(dāng)然也有斯里蘭卡本地人，既有當(dāng)?shù)厝艘灿型鈬?，因為游客喜歡曬日光浴。
Widuri: Yeah, they are. Have you visited that Marble Beach?
威杜里：對，沒錯。你去過大理石沙灘嗎?
Danu: Yes, so many times. Usually, my friends and we do road trips to this place because the road to Marble Beach is very beautiful and especially, there is no police in this area so you can drive freely.
達努：我去過很多次。通常，我會和朋友開車去，因為通往大理石沙灘的那條公路非常漂亮，而且那里沒有警察，你可以自由自在地開車。
Widuri: Oh I see. So you mentioned that Kandy is in the middle of Sri Lanka and this one is in the southern part.
威杜里：我知道了。你剛提到坎迪位于斯里蘭卡中部，而大理石沙灘位于斯里蘭卡南部。
Danu: No. Kandy is in the central part of Sri Lanka and Marble Beach in northeastern part of Sri Lanka.
達努：不是?？驳衔挥谒估锾m卡中部，大理石沙灘位于斯里蘭卡東北部。
Widuri: Is it far?
威杜里：這兩個地方離得遠嗎?
Danu: It is roughly 170 kilometers from my city.
達努：大理石沙灘離我的家鄉(xiāng)城市坎迪大約170公里。
Widuri: Oh, not so far. Interesting. Any other famous place near those two places?
威杜里：哦，不是太遠。有意思。這兩個地方附近還有其他著名景點嗎?
Danu: Oh yes, sure. Near Marble Beach, there's another Hindu temple.
達努：哦，當(dāng)然有了。在大理石沙灘附近，還有一座印度教寺廟。
Widuri: Okay.
威杜里：好。
Danu: And the landscape of this temple is very interesting because in Sri Lanka, usually, around the beach, around the coastal area, there are no highlands or mountains. But this exact Hindu temple is situated on a little mountain right next to Marble Beach. And if you look down from the Hindu temple, it's like a cliff. It's like a straight fall into the water.
達努：這座寺廟的景色非常特別，因為在斯里蘭卡，通常海灘和海岸地區(qū)附近，沒有高地或高山。但是這座印度教寺廟就坐落在大理石沙灘旁邊的一座小山上。如果你從這座寺廟往下看，看上去就像懸崖一樣。好像會直接掉入水中一樣。
Widuri: Wow.
威杜里：哇哦。
Danu: So there had been people jumping off from here and trying to suicide as well.
達努：所以，有人會從那里跳下去，試圖自殺。
Widuri: Oh really?
威杜里：真的嗎?
Danu: As an offering to the god.
達努：作為上帝的祭品。
Widuri: Wow.
威杜里：哇哦。
Danu: Yeah.
達努：嗯。
Widuri: That's a bit scary. But it's so interesting. So near that Marble Beach, we have the beautiful cliff plus the Hindu temple.
威杜里：那有些嚇人。不過也很有意思。在大理石沙灘附近，有美麗的懸崖和印度教寺廟。
Danu: That's true.
達努：沒錯。
Widuri: Very interesting. Wow, I definitely want to go there. I will stay at your house and then we go to both...
威杜里：真有趣。哇哦，我一定要去那里游玩。我可以住在你家，然后我們兩個一起去……

Music Appreciation 音樂鑒賞
John: So Sarah, do you play any musical instruments?
約翰：薩拉，你會演奏樂器嗎?
Sarah: Yeah. I play two. I love to play the guitar. I started playing in college, and I like to play the piano, too. I started learning the piano when I was really young. How about you?
薩拉：會。我會兩種樂器。我喜歡彈吉他。我在大學(xué)時開始學(xué)吉他，我也喜歡彈鋼琴。我很小的時候就開始學(xué)鋼琴。你呢?
John: Oh that's interesting. For me, I started playing the trumpet when I was really young, and I don't play it much anymore. But I started playing the piano when I finished high school, and I still play it now.
約翰：哦，這很有趣。我從很小的時候開始學(xué)小號，不過我現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)不再吹小號了。我高中畢業(yè)以后開始學(xué)鋼琴，我現(xiàn)在還在彈鋼琴。
Sarah: Oh wow. So you started learning the piano when you were older.
薩拉：哇哦。你長大以后才開始學(xué)鋼琴。
John: Yes.
約翰：對。
Sarah: Do you think people can start to learn an instrument at any age?
薩拉：你認為人們在任何年齡都可以學(xué)樂器嗎?
John: Yes, I think so. Do you have a theory about that?
約翰：對，我認為可以。你對此有什么見解?
Sarah: Yeah. I think that if people start to play an instrument when they're older, I think they enjoy it more because they chose to learn it. And I think they're going to play it longer. But if you have to learn an instrument when you're younger, I think you won't continue playing it.
薩拉：嗯。我認為，如果人們長大以后才開始學(xué)樂器，那他們會更享受，因為是他們自己選擇要學(xué)的。而且他們演奏樂器的時間會更長。但是，如果你在小時候被要求去學(xué)一種樂器，那你不會堅持演奏。
John: Oh, because you have to practice for homework or something like that.
約翰：哦，因為你不得不在寫完作業(yè)后練習(xí)。
Sarah: Yeah. I have five brothers. And we all learned how to play the piano, but as soon as my brothers graduated from high school and went away, they stopped playing the piano. And they don't play it now. In fact, they forgot everything.
薩拉：對。我有5個兄弟。我們都學(xué)鋼琴，可是我兄弟們高中一畢業(yè)就不再彈鋼琴了。他們現(xiàn)在也不彈。實際上，他們已經(jīng)都忘了。
John: Oh, wow.
約翰：哇哦。
Sarah: Yeah.
薩拉：對。
John: Well, I do think that music education is very important for children because reading sheet music is like reading a language. And children can learn it much easier than adults learn. So no matter what instrument you play, if you're a child you learn how to read music.
約翰：我認為兒童的音樂教育非常重要，因為看樂譜就像讀語言一樣。相比成年人來說，兒童學(xué)得更容易。所以，無論是何種樂器，從兒童時期開始學(xué)習(xí)樂譜比較好。
Sarah: And I think too, it's really important for kids to be a part of a group like that. For example, singing in the choir or playing music in the orchestra, I think it's really good for kids to learn to work together and make music as a team. I have some really good memories about being a young kid in the orchestra.
薩拉：我也這樣認為，對兒童來說，參加音樂團體非常重要。舉例來說，可以參加合唱團或管弦樂團，我認為學(xué)習(xí)合作以及像團隊一樣做音樂，對兒童來說很有益處。我小時候在管弦樂團有很多美好的記憶。
John: Me too. I was also in choir and orchestra and marching band. So I don't play the orchestra instruments anymore and I don't play the marching band instruments anymore but I'm very glad that I had the experience of learning to read music and learning to work together as a team.
約翰：我也是。我參加了合唱團、管弦樂團和行進樂隊。我現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)不再演奏管弦樂器，我也不再演奏行進樂隊的樂器，不過我很高興我有這種經(jīng)歷，能學(xué)習(xí)樂譜，學(xué)習(xí)團隊合作。
Sarah: That's true. Me too. Okay. I changed my mind. Even little kids, they should learn how to play a musical instrument.
薩拉：沒錯。我也是。好。我改變想法了。每個小孩都應(yīng)該學(xué)一種樂器。
Cut the Music 取消音樂課
John: So Sarah, when I was a kid, my school had the usual classes and we could take band class orchestra class, choir class, and art class if we wanted to take it.
約翰：薩拉，我小時候?qū)W校有常規(guī)課，如果我們想的話，我們可以上樂隊課、管弦樂課、合唱課和藝術(shù)課。
Sarah: Uh-hmm.
薩拉：嗯。
John: But nowadays, school are cutting art programs and music programs.
約翰：可是現(xiàn)在，學(xué)校縮減了藝術(shù)課和音樂課。
Sarah: Yeah. I think it's too bad. I think that it's really important for students to take these art classes or music classes. I think it's important for adults to be well-rounded. Even though math and science are so important, I think it's also important that we know a little bit about poetry and art and music and things like that.
薩拉：對。這太糟糕了。我認為對學(xué)生來說，參加這些藝術(shù)課和音樂課非常重要。對成年人來說，多方面發(fā)展很重要。雖然數(shù)學(xué)和科學(xué)也很重要，但是我認為了解詩歌、藝術(shù)和音樂之類的知識也很重要。
John: Yeah. So in these schools where art programs and music programs are being cut, maybe sometimes they still have clubs so students can join the music club after school. But I think it's not enough. Students should have the option of taking band class during school. Maybe they can't stay after school and join a club.
約翰：對。那些縮減藝術(shù)項目和音樂項目的學(xué)校，可能會保留一些社團，學(xué)生在放學(xué)以后可以參加音樂社團之類的。不過我認為那并不夠。學(xué)生應(yīng)該可以選擇在校期間參加樂隊課。也許他們放學(xué)后不能留下參加社團。
Sarah: Yeah, that's right. You say they should have the option. But I think students should be required to take a few classes like that.
薩拉：對，沒錯。你剛說他們應(yīng)該可以選擇。不過我認為學(xué)生應(yīng)該被要求參加這些課程。
John: Oh, that's a good idea.
約翰：哦，這是個不錯的想法。
Sarah: Uh-hmm.
薩拉：咽。
John: Do you think that students should be required to try all of those classes?
約翰：你認為學(xué)生應(yīng)該被要求參加所有這類課程嗎?
Sarah: Maybe. I think so, but of course, maybe they don't have time to take a full year of art class. But I think they can take a class where they can study art and music and things like that.
薩拉：也許吧。我同意，不過，也許他們沒有時間參加一整年的藝術(shù)課程。不過我認為他們可以參加一門既可以學(xué)習(xí)藝術(shù)又可以學(xué)習(xí)音樂的課程。
John: And poetry and theatre.
約翰：還有詩歌和戲劇。
Sarah: Yes, all together.
薩拉：對，一起學(xué)。
John: Oh, that's a good idea.
約翰：哦，這是個不錯的主意。
Sarah: I think maybe it's related. Even in elementary school these days in America, they're making recess time so short. They say, "We don't have time for recess, for art class, for music. We have to focus on math and science and reading." But I think students won't listen and learn as well if they don't have time to play or sing or dance.
薩拉：我認為那可能有聯(lián)系?，F(xiàn)在在美國，就連小學(xué)都在縮短休息時間。他們認為，“我們沒有時間休息，沒有時間給藝術(shù)課和音樂課。我們必須將重點放在數(shù)學(xué)、科學(xué)和閱讀上。”但是我認為，如果學(xué)生沒有時間玩、唱歌或跳舞，那他們也不會聽課和學(xué)習(xí)。
John: Yeah, some schools, it's getting very bad. In fact, I heard about a school where the kids don't have gym class. They don't have P.E., and instead of P.E. class, they took the after lunch recess and they said, "Before kids can play by themselves, they must run three laps on the track."
約翰：對，有些學(xué)校的情況非常糟糕。實際上，我聽說有所學(xué)校甚至沒有體育課。他們沒有設(shè)置體育課，而是利用午飯后的休息時間讓孩子們鍛煉，他們說“在孩子們可以自由活動之前，他們必須在操場上跑三圈。”
Sarah: Oh.
薩拉：哦。
John: So they took away the gym class and they take away the free time.
約翰：所以，他們?nèi)∠梭w育課，還占用了自由時間。
Sarah: Boy, I don't want to go that school.
薩拉：我可不想去那種學(xué)校。
John: Yeah.
約翰：對。
